Hello @rpdelaney,

this is essentialy a duplicate of https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/1143, because you have a malformed author:

authors = ["Ryan Delaney <[e-mail]"]

must become

authors = ["Ryan Delaney <[e-mail]>"]

But yes, we have to improve the error message here.

I have the same error as @bostevensspinakr , but when trying to run poetry init. It therefore has nothing to do with my application

EDIT: just realized this only happens in bash for windows.
